Previous Exploration Highlights*
Inferno Zone
Recent discovery of porphyry-related veining, alteration, and mineralization assaying up to 14.96 g/t Au, 1.58% Cu, and 52 g/t Ag in quartz-magnetite-chalcopyrite-epidote assemblage vein sets in multiple orientations
Historic trenching of tuff breccia assayed up to 1.4 g/t Au, 0.91% Cu, and 19 g/t Ag
Historic tuff breccia rock samples assayed up to 3.91g/t Au, 0.21% Cu, and 11 g/t Ag
Historic quartz-vein stockwork samples assayed up to 4.16 g/t Au, 1.88% Cu, and 65 g/t Ag
Lilabet Zone
Historic Minfile reports breccia zone chip sample assaying 1.29% Cu and 38 g/t Ag over 100m
Money Spinner Vein Zone
Historic chip sampling of the NW-trending, ~1.2m wide by 300m+ long, ribboned epithermal quartz Money Spinner vein assayed 26.25 g/t Au while another parallel vein system ~200m east assayed 13.63 g/t Au
MolyCop Zone
Historic soil and rock sampling within the Rogers Creek Pluton proper ~2-3km east of the
Inferno Zone outlined three distinct 1-2km diameter wide zones of significant Cu-Mo-Au-W-Bi porphyry pathfinder element associations at northeast structural intersections along a 7km major north-northwest arc-parallel fault systemThe minimal prospecting and sampling of the two northern zones within the Rogers Creek Pluton discovered multiple showings of copper-molybdenum mineralization along new logging roads. Molybdenite +/- chalcopyrite are observed in veins and on fractures and joint planes with values up to 1.56% Cu, 3.84 g/t Au, 75 g/t Ag, and 241 ppm Mo in grab samples

LiDAR and Airborne Magnetic Surveys
Cascade Copper commissioned an airborne LiDAR survey in 2022 in order to create an accurate elevation model and to analyze the structural complexity of the project area. The LiDAR survey produced exceptional detail that will allow the Company to interpret the controls on mineralization at Fire Mountain. The LiDAR has shown geologic boundaries, major normal fault and thrust fault systems that cross the project as well as structures within the Rogers Creek Pluton that have associated anomalous porphyry pathfinder minerals (See Figure 3 below).
The Company has combined two individual airborne magnetic surveys that show a strong correlation with mineralization and high magnetic intensity in the central portion of the property and correlation of lower magnetic intensity, structural complexity, and the above mentioned porphyry pathfinder minerals in the East. The highly magnetic central portion of the project (See Figure 4 below) is interpreted to be a zone of hydrothermal alteration with magnetite, copper, and gold enrichment. The majority of the recent surface sampling and high copper and gold values have been associated with this highly underexplored magnetic zone (See Figures 5 and 6 below).

Planned Exploration
Cascade Copper plans to perform surface mapping and sampling at the main copper gold trend as well as do some reconnaissance prospecting within the Rogers Creek Pluton to follow up on the anomalous pathfinder minerals found in the structurally complex area. Several lines of IP are planned to evaluate the response that may indicate potential deeper mineralization. If the IP response is favourable, infill IP will be completed before core drilling is initiated.
